How save web page to DVD

I would like to know how to save a webpage to a file so I can burn it to a dvd. The website is http://eyearbook.balfour.com/316637 , it is my kids yearbook online. I was thinking of copying it to DVD and sticking the DVD in with his real yearbook, so if the web page ever goes down, we have a copy. I dont know anything about webpages. Thanks

Glad you linked it. Since that site uses Flash and requires a flash-based login, it'll be a bit more complex. You could go about it a couple different ways. Maybe try using a video screen recording program to record your own interactions with the website, save that as a video on the DVD so you could at least go back and re-watch yourself using the website. Or just take screenshots of the various pages and save them as JPEG files.

Not likely. You might be able to save the actual flash file (.swf extension I think) but when you open it, it would probably error out if the web server is down (which is the scenario you are trying to protect against). So, someone might have a better suggestion, but what I said above is the best I can think of.

I 've had a look at the site, and I can't find the .flv file which probably contains the eYearbook. But I have found a set of thumbs of the pages, which might make a memento for you. Rather than give it here, I'll PM you with the address...

Well, I would PM you, but it failed. Perhaps you have PM's switched off? Or perhaps because you are a new user, you are not yet permitted to send/receive PMs? Its a pity because I really do not want to give the URL in a public place.

Under Geberal /Settings, I have visitor setting set to - on. Maybe it has something to do with me being new. I can not find a private message thing when I click on your name.
